Create a simple Easter Diorama with Wally Duncan.
Wally will step you through the process of building an Easter Themed Diorama using common pine dimensional lumber.
The process involves using a number of different tools in the Guild Shop so the more things you are approved to use, the better. Whether you build the Diorama to use yourself to to give as a gift, you will learn a lot about project planning and execution in the process.
If you are not approved on many tools, we can try to get you "checked out" on those Tuesday if time allows, but it would be better to do so before the class. I will be supervising on Saturday March 4th if you want to come by then. I can come early on Tuesday as well if you will contact me.
This should be a fun hands-on opportunity. As always, its nice to know who is coming, but sign-up is not required.
5-5:20pm will be open discussion around 5:20 we will start the night's topic.

Circle-Cutting Jigs
Many projects require the cutting of precise circles in wood. Whether you're building a large table top or a small wheel for a wooden toy having a jig the allows you to pivot wood past a cutter lets you make those parts.
In this session we will discuss two options for cutting circles. One will use a router as the cutting tool and the other will use a band saw. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each approach. If you have a circle-cutting jig of your own, please bring it. We can talk about what you like about it and what you'd like to see different. If there is enough interest we can also make plans for a build-it class to make one of the circle jig types.
If you are not yet certified on the band saw, think about doing so. Although I plan this to primarily be a demonstration class, I would like to let folks get there hands on the jigs too as time allows.
5-5:20pm will be open discussion around 5:20 we will start the night's topic.

Build a Story Stick
Anyone who has attended any Fundamentals Workshop sessions has heard me stress how much I dislike to measure things with a ruler or tape measure. It is almost always better to measure what you are working on using the actual project; that is, if a drawer has to fit in a cabinet opening, use the cabinet opening to measure the part. It's called "measuring from actual".
One of the most useful methods of taking such a measurement is to have a "story stick". I am very fond of a design for one that Bill Newman uses. In this class we will be making a simple story stick that you can take home. There are a thousand designs for these things but this one is quite elegant. In the process of making them, we will be creating a sliding dovetail using the Horizontal Router Table, so there are some interesting joinery and tool aspects of this session as well.
I will bring some scrap wood to make the project, but if you have a favorite wood you like to use all that is necessary is to have two pieces about 16" long, 3/4" think and maybe an inch or more wide. None of the measurements are critical except both pieces of wood need to be exactly the same thickness (preferably milled at the same time.) We can assure that by just re-milling them if you are not sure.
The length of 16" is arbitrary. It is often useful to have pairs of story sticks is various lengths, so shorter or longer scrap will work.
The sliding dovetail joint intimidates a lot of folks. But I promise that even an absolute newcomer can succeed in making one using the Horizontal Router Table. Its the perfect tool for fine-tuning the fit of joints.
As always, please sign up on Facebook if you can, but signup is not required. It does help be prepare materials, though.
5-5:20pm will be open discussion around 5:20 we will start the night's topic.

Milling Wood
In this session we will prepare wood for a specific project: a wooden box.
There is more to milling wood than just achieving a desired dimension. In this case we want to orient grain to get the highest amount of figure we can out of a board. For a box, it is also desirable to have the grain continuous around all four sides which also involves re-sawing a board.
We will select the board from a number of candidates by studying the characteristics of each board to determine which board meets our requirements best. We will then plan the milling steps and make adjustments to grain orientation where possible. Then we will mill the board and prepare it for building the actual box.
In next weeks session, we will build the box using mitered corners with splines reinforcing the strength of the miter joint.
5-5:20pm will be open discussion around 5:20 we will start the night's topic.
